Designing a Collaborative Reflection Scheme for Senior Grade Three English Teachers in a State High School in China
Abstract
Reflective practice (RP) is widely used in various professional education fields and is a central part of teacher education. Through reflection, they may make some adjustments or changes in order to improve their practice and become a better teacher. However, in RP the focus is often individual rather than collaborative and there is a lack of evidence-based accounts, which reduces the effect of reflection to a certain degree and similarly in China. Therefore, it is important to have a collaborative and evidence-based reflection scheme that fits a specific teaching environment in order to improve teaching and develop teachers.References
